I still thin we wait for ken's input.

No Vote: Do not enter unit crew such as "Unit Photographer"
allowed credits are:
Direction: Director, Directed by excluded: Co-Director, Directors of Special Features
Production:
Producer: Producer, Produced by, A [name] Production (excluding company names) excluded: Co-Producers, Associate Producers, Production Supervisor
Executive Producer: Executive Producer excluded: Co-Executive Producer,
Associate Producer
...
Art: Visual Effects: Individual Credits: Visual/Digital/Special/Special Visual Effects, including Designer, Supervisor, and Director, Special Photographic Effects

Nowhere does it states: you're not allowed to enter allowed credits (list) from units

Post Production is mostly done by several units/companies
Visual Effects is mostly done by several units/companies

I find it very far fetched to draw this conclusion:
Unit Crew isn't allowed by the rules: "Do not enter unit crew such as 'Unit Photographer'" and using this to exclude location crew.
In this case The Hours (2008): movie partially shot in the USA (U.S. Unit: header in movie credits)
U.S. Unit:
Gary Alper: Production Sound Mixer
Judy Rhee: Art Director
Iris H. Lemos: Costume Designer
Ellen Mahlke: Costume Designer
Eva Polywka: Make-up Artist

Well, that just shows how differently we can interpret the rules. To me this is clearly not allowed.

Until we get an official word on this, I would have to vote no to such contributions.

Hi . nice to see you back.

I think the way they're interpreting the rule is that any role that is connected with the word "unit" is not allowed. So any crew listed under a header that says "USA Unit" is not allowed.
Because "Danetracks" and "Widget Post Production" don't include the word "unit" they are allowed.

I personally think this is too literal a way of reading the rule, but I think that is where they're coming from. And without a rewording of that particular rule (defining what a unit crew is) I can't see a way round it.

"Unit Photographer" is not in the allowed role list!
this tells me to list crew members within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited:

Quote:
Group names of crew members together within each role available and list in exactly the same order credited. The table below gives each of the crew roles available within DVD Profiler. For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section.

rather a bit hypocrite your wordplay Unit or another label Department: this is about location crew as you did enter these:
Australian Art Department
Catherine Mansill: Art Director
Charlie Revai: Art Director
Jules Cook: Art Director
U.S. Art Department
Mark W. Mansbridge [Mark Mansbridge]: Art Director
Australian Special Effects Department
Steve Courtley: Visual Effects
U.S. Special Effects
Clay Pinney: Visual Effects
Australian Art Department
Tina Gordon: Make-up Artist
Margaret Aston: Make-up Artist
Jason Baird: Make-up Effects
Rick Connelly: Make-up Effects
Charmaine Connelly: Make-up Effects
U.S. Makeup Department
Karen Bradley: Make-up Artist
Jenny-King Turko: Make-up Artist
Steven E. Anderson [Steven Anderson]: Make-up Artist

and don't be so condescending about reading the rules

what would be so different with location crew in U.S. unit for a movie that was shot in UK and US and the location crew in Australia and US departments? same job descriptions other locations, just because of a difference in labels US Unit or U.S. Makeup Department one would get a credit the other not? You must be joking

I feel your pain.  What I would do in this case, is explain the situation...that the film was filmed in two different countries with two different crews...and let the screeners decide which way they want to go.  There is a difference between true unit crew, the crew that shoots less important footage, and location crew, the crew that works with the main actors on location.

It is unfortunate that some people have locked on the the label, 'unit', instead of the function.  I can't, however, fault them for it as I am a fairly literal person and can see where they are coming from.
